Hi
I want to install software on a RedHat 5.5 -64 server that it doesn't register .
How can I install software when only I have the some specific the it's name for example : eclips
But I don't know the full rpm name of the package.

First you'll check either its in rpm form or in binary form. Once you find it
then for binary you will use following commands.
./configure then make and make install.but if it is in the rpm for then you
can install it through rpm -ivh

You can configure Yum server for the DVD Dump, http://www.computernetworkingnotes.com/rhce_certif ication/yum_server.htm
That way you can install any packages on the DVD and have yum resolve
dependencies for them, again only from the DVD (But the s/w on the DVD is
all complete though).
Otherwise you have probably got to compile from source (That is a pretty
good option too, if you don't have much to install).

Centos has also been getting good reviews - might be worth you time to look
into it.

Hi ayaz
Thanks for your guidance. I know how to compile a source file or how to compile with rpm .
My question is that ,
When a RHEL server register on redhat site and we need to install a new software , then when we type it's name , it install every dependency of this software on server .
Now my server is not register and I want to install a package , and also I don't know the complete name of package and I need to install it for example I want to install Elipse package but I don't know the version of it , is there any way to do it with rpm that install it with all of dependencies.
I know I can search internet for the full name of this package or download it and compile it .
But I want to know whether is there any way or not?

My boss says that we have the Redhat cd that have this package. But he doesn't know the complete name of it to install it .
And he wants a way for installing it from cd with all of dependency packages.

Sophia, I am not use Eclipse come as rpm package. Why do not download
the software from official site and extract it
For example you can get Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file =/technology/epp/downloads/release/helios/SR2 /eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-linux-gtk.tar.gz

In mostly RHEL will not supports update you are packages, because you have to register with Red hat. I know very well because in our company we use RHEL5.5 with LAMP stag and we are facing so many issues regarding updates. So to avoid this we moved to Centos 5.5.(which is a product of RHEL).

In Centos all the updates are available. so you can try or you can contact me. ( email@removed ) +919676277939.

If you have an account :
- go to http://rhn.redhat.com
- input "Red Hat Login" and "Password" , click Log In button
- select "DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE" ( on the left column of the page )
- select your version of RedHat ( Red Hat Enterprise Linux ( v.5 for 64-bit x86_64 )
- on the menu bar ( Details Errata Packages ....) select "Packages"
- now you have access to all packages

Let's say you need eclipse package :
- click on letter "E"
- use the arrows ( bottom/upper -right corner ) and go ahead in the list until you find what you need
(the first instance is eclipse-ecj-3.2.1-18 )
- download the package you need
- test the installation process ( as root ) : # rpm --test -Uvh pacckage_name.rpm
- if some dependencies are needed, download them as described above
- when the test is successful, you can make the actual installation ( omitting the --test option )

Ok you have RHEL5 and Redhat is the replica of centos if you will set the
base url of yum with centos then you can resolve all the dependencies
through yum.i dont think so there is any way for unregister version to
install the package from red hat server except yum with centos base url's

First off, I'd suggest you look into Centos if you want Red Hat without
registering.

You can search the various rpm sites to locate the rpm you're looking
for. Assuming you're looking for eclipse for Red Hat, google something
like this:

eclipse rpm rhel

If you want a tool that is going to resolve dependencies for you, I'd
suggest you look at Centos rather then Red Hat. Centos is a rebranded
version of Red Hat EL. Then you can use all the tools you want.

Just to clarify, Centos is not a Red Hat product. It is put together by
some enterprising folks who take advantage of the GNU licensing and take
Red Hat source, remove the proprietary Red Hat logos and such, and
rebrand it as Centos.

As I've noted in previous posts to this thread, Centos is a rebranded
distro made from the Red Hat EL sources. So, although it is a different
distro, you are effectively running Red Hat EL. I had been running Red
Hat EL on my laptop supporting a client who has Red Hat EL on their
servers. I recently moved to Centos and all is well. Centos is a viable
replacement for Red Hat.

Hi,
I would suggest use YUM, YUM has ability to install all the dependencies of
packages.
Using root first insert the RedHat DVD->mount it->
eg. mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvdrom /media
cd to mount point
eg. cd /media/Packages
ls | grep eclip
If the eclip package is already in installation DVD & it will give you
output otherwise you may drop to shell.
If yes then configure yum. After completing yum configuration
just use yum clean all
yum install eclip

You are done eclip will be install with all the dependencies associated with
it.
